When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1358

Before long, the ambulance had taken Leo away.

Galen arrived soon after, concerned.

Upon seeing Elizabeth, he dr@ped his coat over her and asked, “What happened?”

With Galen’s voice reaching her, determination settled in Elizabeth’s eyes.

She told Galen, “Take me to the police station for a statement.

I also want to hold a press conference.

”

That night, at the police station, Elizabeth was seated in a cramped interrogation room; the officers pressed her to recount the events.

Wearing an expression of innocence, she uttered tearfully, “Leo was the intruder, intent on violating me.

He threatened to shoot me if I resisted.

I had no choice but to defend myself.

”

With trembling hands, Elizabeth shielded her tear-streaked face, her sobs echoing in the room.

Concern etched across his brow, Galen queried, “Is self-defense a crime, Sir?”

“After we examined the surveillance footage from Miss Wallace’s abode, it’s evident she faced a dire threat.

While her actions are understandable, we must delve deeper.

Your confession is on record.

You’re free to go for now.

Should new developments arise, we’ll reach out.

”

“Alright.

” Galen escorted Elizabeth out of the room.

Stepping beyond the precinct’s threshold, they were met with a swarm of reporters, each armed with probing questions.

“Did Leo, the suspect in tonight’s police pursuit, break into your home and threaten you, Miss Wallace?”

“Is there a history of conflict between you and Leo?”

“Are you considering legal action against Leo?”

Elizabeth lowered her gaze, mustering her emotions before the camera.

Her eyes welled with tears, her voice heavy with sorrow.

“Leo mistook me for Stella and unleashed his fury upon me, seeking retribution for something he couldn’t obtain from her.

The reporter, perhaps oblivious to the gravity of his inquiry, drew a breath and pressed on.

“So, are you saying your ordeal tonight was all because of Stella?”

Elizabeth evaded a direct response, her voice choked with sobs.

“ALL I desire is to complete this film.

Let others resolve their private matters swiftly.

Please spare me the disruptions to my work schedule and don’t harm me.

I shudder to think what might have occurred if the bodyguard hadn’t intervened tonight.

”

She fell silent, withholding further words.

The persistent reporter was about to press on, but Galen intervened at the right moment.

“Elizabeth is clearly distressed.

It wouldn’t be fair to expect her to answer questions now.

Give her some time to recuperate.

She’ll address the media in a few days to provide clarity.

”

Observing Elizabeth’s pallor, the reporters respectfully stepped aside.

Amidst a flurry of camera flashes, Galen ushered Elizabeth into the awaiting car.

Taking the driver’s seat, he steered them away.
